Meta‐analysis of the association between AF and the expression of 7 genes. P value is 2‐sided. Results are from the study by Lin et al.8 and from the SIRS trial cohort. Results were obtained in each cohort using a multivariable model including age, sex, smoking, height, weight, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, prevalent diabetes mellitus, prevalent myocardial infarction, prevalent heart failure, and antihypertensive treatment. Meta‐analysis was performed using Stouffer's Z score method. Each box represents a Z score; light blue boxes represent individual studies, and dark blue boxes represent the summary statistic; the size of the box is proportional to the weight given in the meta‐analysis. The gray line represents a null effect (Z=0); the red line represents a significant effect (Z=1.96 corresponding to a 2‐sided P value of 0.05). SIRS indicates Steroids in Cardiac Surgery.
